Magick is neither white nor black, its just magick. Its the intentions that could be good or bad.

Llewellyn publishing publishes most of the books on this subject, and there's a lot available. Scott Cunningham is a good author to begin with.
They have a website, just do a google search.
tiracs, an answerer above, doesn't understand the belief system of Wicca, the most common religion associated with "white" magic. He's looking at it through the eyes of a differeing religion, which ofcourse won't ever give you a very well rounded education on the belief system in question. Wiccans don't use their magic for bad, because they believe what goes around comes around. In other words, put out bad and you'll get bad things in return. Most witches don't believe using magic for evil purposes is very effective, anyway.

I asked a friend on this one - because although I am interested in magickal theory - I'm not interested in the practice. Hey, I'm just a nerd.
I was quickly informed that this is a good book by a good writer.
"Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner"
by Scott Cunningham
This way you can get a feel for the subject and be safer and more educated before looking for a coven (should you choose to).
Hope it helps.

the intent of the practioner of the Magickal Arts defines so-called White (used for good)Magick from Black (used for evil) Magick. In Christianity, the church warns against danger that is connected to any practioner of Magick.
Unlike our comic book heroes, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutly. If this aphorism is so, none can be trusted to use his macickal powers for good only.
Jesus is quoted in the gospels as saying, (in response to someone calling him "Good master") "Why do you call me good? There is none good but God.
The idea that the practioner of white magick can resist temptations to meddle in human lives is not safe. Yet the learned usage of herbs and roots and other folk remedies for healing is not magick but more of the art of the Shauman. But all Magick is self-applied power to make things happen, and to say that "I will only use my powers for good" is to speak from the heart of delusion.
Power over all things of a human's life, when given, or assumed by default is so dangerous as to endanger the soul.
Look at the life and death of Jim Jones. He was a pwoerful preacher of the gospel, operated a very large church in San Francisco, was lauded by the mayor for all the good things done for the community by his church members. He gained power over his flock, immense power, to assign wives and husbands, to beat children and adults for perceived infractions of his rule, to the turning over to him of entire financial estates of families, and more.
When the dust finally settled in his dusty Jonesville in the jungle of a small country in Central America, the deaths of some five hundred members (and young children as well) of his Jim Jones religion occured. Adults had taken or had forcefully given to their children lethal dosages of cyanide dissolved in koolade. All in one afternoon.
That is a good example of the terror of final power, absolute power... Jim died from a gunshot wound to his head.
Jim Jones had been seduced by his own self-assumed power over his flock into thinking he controled life and death of his followers, few of them disagreed, and his followers died by cyanide poisonming.
The practice of Witchcraft also seduces because soon the thought occurs that the spells work because of the practioner's own power
